## Macros
#define | MUTILS_DELETE(PTR) do { if((PTR)) { delete (PTR); (PTR) = NULL; } } while(0)
| Deletes the object, if and only if the given pointer is not NULL. Also sets pointer to NULL after object has been deleted.
#define | MUTILS_DELETE_ARRAY(PTR) do { if((PTR)) { delete [] (PTR); (PTR) = NULL; } } while(0)
| Deletes the array, if and only if the given pointer is not NULL. Also sets pointer to NULL after array has been deleted.
#define | MUTILS_ZERO_MEMORY(PTR) memset(&(PTR), 0, sizeof((PTR)))
| Clears the specified variable or struct by setting all of its bytes to zero (`0x00`). Do not use for arrays.
#define | MUTILS_WCHR(STR) (reinterpret_cast<const wchar_t*>((STR).utf16()))
| Converts a given QString object to a `wchar_t*` pointer. Does not copy the string data, so do not free the pointer! The returned pointer only remains valid until the underlying QString is modified or goes out of scope.
#define | MUTILS_UTF8(STR) ((STR).toUtf8().constData())
| Converts a given QString object to a `char*` pointer. The string is converted to UTF-8 encoding. The pointer is valid only while the expression is being evaluated, so do not free or store this pointer! Mainly useful for function calls that require a `char*` argument.
#define | MUTILS_QSTR(STR) (QString::fromUtf16(reinterpret_cast<const unsigned short*>((STR))))
| Creates a QString object from a given `wchar_t*` buffer. The buffer is expected to conatin a NULL-terminated string in UTF-16 encoding. The string data is copied into the new QString object, however the original buffer will not be freed automatically!
#define | MUTILS_BOOL2STR(X) ((X) ? "1" : "0")
| Converts a boolean expression into a string. A true boolean expression is converted to the string `"1"`; a false boolean expression is converted to the string `"0"`.
#define | MUTILS_BOOLIFY(X) (!(!(X)))
| Converts a given expression into a boolean expression, by application of double negation operator.
#define | MUTILS_NO_COPY(CLASS)
| Disables copy constructor and assignment operator in the specified class. This macro should be used in the "private" section of the class' declaration. More...

## § MUTILS_NO_COPY

#define MUTILS_NO_COPY | ( |  | CLASS | ) |

Value:
CLASS(const CLASS &) { throw "Copy constructor is disabled!"; } \
CLASS &operator=(const CLASS &) { throw "Assignment operator is disabled!"; }

Disables copy constructor and assignment operator in the specified class. This macro should be used in the "private" section of the class' declaration.
